Bushfire taskforce plots recovery progress

The Tasmanian Government has released a report on the recovery from devastating bushfires six months ago.

The bushfires in the central, eastern and southern parts of the state burnt more than 100,000 hectares and destroyed more than 200 homes.

The Government's bushfire recovery taskforce has released a report on the progress so far.

It does not mention specific plans for projects, but contains information about community programs already in place.

The head of the recovery unit, Damian Bugg, says the plan for the next recovery phase is deliberately short on detail, so the community does not feel pressured into rushing to rebuild.

Mr Bugg says it is more important to give bushfire victims access to support services and let them rebuild at their own pace.

"If we were to put out a plan saying, 'in the next three weeks we expect everyone to be doing the following and then after that we expect this to be happening,' it created a pressure on people that's pushing them, rather than having them make the decisions," he said.

The Premier, Lara Giddings, says the taskforce wanted to provide a positive document for the community.

"The six month mark is a really important mark, people tend to start to relive the whole experience," she said.

"They tend to start to be a bit depressed about what can be achieved."
